    RUSSIAN FIRMS TO PARTICIPATE IN KAZAKH TENDER FOR UPGRADE OF AIR TRAFFIC
    CONTROL

    Nizhniy Tagil, Sverdlovsk Region, 7 July: Russian air traffic control
    system designers and manufacturers will participate in a tender on
    upgrading the Kazakh air traffic control system, Nikolay Bordyuzha,
    secretary- general of the Collective Security Treaty Organization
    (CSTO), told Interfax-Military News Agency at the Nizhniy Tagil arms
    show on Wednesday (7 July).

    "We have arranged for Russian manufacturers to display their air
    traffic control systems and participate in the Kazakh tender,"
    Bordyuzha said.

    According to him, the Russian side has already made corresponding
    proposals on upgrading the Kazakh air traffic control system, and is
    continuing work with this end in view.

    Bordyuzha said that many CSTO member-states enjoyed an economic boost,
    singling Kazakhstan out as an example. "At the present time this
    country is ready to participate in developing new weapon systems," he
    said.

    According to Bordyuzha, Tajikistan, Armenia, and other CSTO
    member-states are also experiencing economic growth. "CSTO
    member-states will have enough real money in the near future, and
    these assets will be used to procure Russian arms and materiel," he
    emphasized.

    He also noted that cooperation had recently been revived within the
    CSTO framework. "Many industrial enterprises embrace the approach of
    establishing interstate holding companies. The Oboronitelnye Sistemy
    Holding Company is being established at the moment. It will comprise
    enterprises and companies from the following five CSTO member-states:
    Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan," he said.

    Kazakh Defence Minister Mukhtar Altynbayev earlier told Interfax- AVN
    that Kazakhstan would be studying proposals on modernizing the air
    defence systems and air traffic controlling systems sometime before
    2008 or 2010.

    The Kazakh government has approved a plan to create an integrated
    system for air traffic control for the period from 2004 to
    2010. According to this plan, a tender will be held in the second
    quarter of 2010 to determine who will carry out the project.

    Experts say the value of the contract may amount to 1bn dollars.
